HI Rodders

me again :)

I've not heard anything like that, in fact I thought the opposite applied; tables can have extra tags like 'summary' which describe the content, so the SEO experts will fill in for me there whether 'summary' is a recognised seo tag, but the sheer fact you can layout the content in a table, set table headers, cell properties and so on... 

However many of the properties are deprecated in HTML5, so beware.

Hi all. Happy Mondays. Can someone tell me if it’s true that it's better for SEO not to use html tables?

In fact. Why are tables in HTML code frowned upon? I’ve not seen good support for this prejudice. They don’t seem to be problematic in mobile browsers. The usual answer is that content needs to be separated from layout. But why is using a div or a span good separation of content from layout and a table not? Good layout with only divs requires a lot of nested divs. So why Is a table less maintainable?. It’s unlikely that a new version of a web site will only need a new CSS file. In fact I think less people will understand what is going on someone else’s CSS rather than in their simple table layout. I’d be interested in good reasons for the use if divs + CSS instead of tables.
